Five women are speaking out for the first time about the abuse they suffered while their parents were teaching the Bible on behalf of a group formerly known as New Tribes, which operated in more than a dozen countries around the world. The survivors tell NBC News their abuser told them not to tell, because doing so would interfere with their parents’ missionary work.Feb. 7, 2019
